This will be a single day contest, and the format will be ALES5J, which is a mixture of both ALES pilots and F5J pilots scored together using a set of modified rules and pilots choose to use ALES devices or F5J devices and the scoring takes care of the differences:

Scoring:

• Normalized flight scores for each round by Flight Group. 
• Flight time is one point per second up to the Target Time and one second reduction over Target Time.
• The F5J launch altitude penalty is a reduction of 1/2 point per meter up to 200m and then 3 points per meter above 200m.
• Landings and Height Penalty are added/subtracted prior to normalization.
• All pilots must have either an approved ALES altitude limiter or an F5J approved altitude recorder.  Some spares will be available.
• The CD has the option to drop a round at the end of the contest if he/she wishes to do so.

Scores will count towards 2023 totals, as the contest is after the end of season.
